With God's help, fight for the glory of Svea Rike!

The king, Carolus XI is dead, the royal castle is in ashes and the people of Sweden are starving to death in the harsh winter. With bloodshed, the enemies of Sweden are now concluding an attack alliance. Russia, Denmark and Saxony-Poland are waiting to attack the Swedish borders. The new fifteen-year-old King, Carolus XII stands alone with the fate of the kingdom in his hands.

In Great Battles of Carolus XII, the player will experience battles such as:

Battle of Narva 1700
Battle of Gemauerthof 1705
The Siege of Veprik 1709

Each battle will last about 30-60 minutes and the player will be able to command infantry, cavalry and artillery units. There are more great battles coming in the future!

4.99, though currently it's 40% off (so it's 2.99 at the moment).

So apparently Paradox leaked a Victoria 3 announcement but then deleted it: https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/nho2mg/victoria_3_leak_on_the_forums/

I mean. I'm excited. But they're bound to ruin it.

But cool, even if broken. After all isn't Vic 2 still that way and yet still fun?

I installed it a while ago - I forgot how tedious the diplomacy/competing with other powers for influence was.

When we analyzed the data from Stellaris, we realized what the players loved most was micro-ing pop jobs and trying to unfuck their economy because worker drones kept auto-promoting/demoting every day.

With that in mind, we're announcing Victoria 3: Triumph of Bureaucracy so you can live out your dreams of deciding whether the pop representing 3 Albino Ethiopians living in East London will be a clerk or a laborer.

Pre-order today!

Personally, I hope they'll lean even more towards hands off than in Vic2 where you could only hope and pray your capitalists built useful factories half of the time.

But looking at HoI4 and EU4 which give ever more control to players to play out whatever revisionist fantasy they crave I suppose that's unlikely to happen.
